Dear Colleague,
Since 1994 when former DEA agent Richard Horn filed a lawsuit against two high-ranking officials in the CIA and State
Department the US government has been attempting to derail the case.
Bill Conroy continues his reporting on the Horn case as even more information is revealed from documents that show
dishonest tactics on the part of the government officials:
“The September 9 motion filed by attorneys from the DOJ’s Civil Division was an effort to convince the appeals court to
issue an emergency ‘stay,’ or hold, on the Horn case proceedings pending a review ‘of the district [lower] court’s order
compelling the government to grant [or renew] security clearances to [private] counsel [for Horn and the defendants in
the case — a former CIA station chief and a former State Department chief of mission]. …’
“…The problem with that effort, however, is that the claims advanced in the government’s September 9 motion to support
that dire narrative appear to be fabrications — when those claims are compared with the facts in the court record.”
